Question
Sgt. Wilky
Hello Everyone,
In July of 2015 I won an 8+ year battle with the VA at the BVA. Today I received a phone call from the Cheyenne VA telling me they needed to schedule a C&P exam regarding three (out of the 8 ) claims. My first appointment is on the 18th. I had no idea this was coming and it felt like a broadside on the VA's part. Until I researched it today, I didn't know what a RFE was, and now I'm even more confused one what the VA is trying to accomplish here, so any insight would be helpful.
The issue that is currently being re-looked at is: "Upper and Lower Back Pain as Due to an Undiagnosed (RFE)". I don't have the decision in front of me as I am at work, and I'll need to go home and dig it out. The judge at the BVA stated that he was granting this issue with the same granting of both my lower right and lower left extremities. Those two issues will be re-evaluated as well. Each of these three issues will be re-evaluated in the future, with the first one being next week. All three are currently at 10% each.
So here's the kicker...from my understanding, the 10 year protections kick in, in July of 2018, a little more than a month and a half away. If I appeal any decision to lower these before this date, this means the VA will have to move at lightning speed, and I have 60 days to appeal, so I don't understand what the VA is trying to do, except maybe comply with the BVA court's ruling, or trying to sneak one (or three) reductions in on me or shooting themselves in the foot with having to grant an increase.
Sorry if it's confusing, I know it is for me.

Hey PWRSLM, I'm also wondering if this is an RFE because the regulation under which these disabilities are "required by the regulation or diagnostic code (DC) under which the Veteran is service
